Out of 100 marks for each subject, 75 marks (75%) marks in each paper are

assigned for semester end examination and 25 marks (25%) for internal /

continuous assessment for the course.

The project work would be for 100 marks (50 marks for dissertation; 25 marks

for viva-voice and 25 marks for Presentation-internal).

Every theory and practical subject of 100 marks will have 5 and 8 periods class

load per week respectively, with 5 credits.

Every subject will have four units of syllabus

Semester end examination question paper structure consists of two sections, viz.

section A consist of four essay questions, one question from each unit of
